“The environment is where we all meet; where all have a mutual interest; it is the one thing all of us share.” — Lady Bird Johnson
This idea, the idea that the Earth is what we all share, is the central belief behind Buncee Buddies: Earth Day 2016. Buncee Buddies: Earth Day 2016 connects classrooms across the world, from sea to sea, as students celebrate our Earth and learn cultural awareness. We aim to connect classrooms on every continent to celebrate what unites us all and, at the same time, embrace our cultural differences!
This April, Buncee is excited to host Buncee Buddies: Earth Day 2016, which aspires to connect classrooms (i.e. Buncee Buddies) from around the world to explore how they celebrate Earth Day on their side of the globe! Teachers worldwide are encouraged to sign their classes up for the project and create buncees about the importance of environmental protection, methods of execution, and what the local environment is like in their corner of the world. Once you’re signed up, we will partner you and your students with another class to digitally “meet”, brainstorm ideas, and exchange your students’ creations!
To support your endeavors, all new users that participate in this exciting cultural exchange project will be awarded a FREE 3-month subscription to eduBuncee Plus. Already have an account?

Every year millions of people participate in this special cause to celebrate the Earth. Our planet generously gives us the resources we need to live our lives, so it’s important that today’s youth learn from their peers about the ways in which they can make their environment more sustainable for themselves and future generations. Through this cultural exchange, students will build connections, cross barriers, and spark creative and inspirational ideas that will help make this world a better place!

Nice that you take part of the Earth day. Especially for kids it’s so important to care about our earth. We just have only one planet – so it’s time to change our behaviour.
Btw: Google also participates with some doodle-drawings on it’s homepage. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sDSwYj7xio
